Here is a website on Facebook for those interested in boycotting Applebees

But, I'd like to know if there is a general website for all others.

The media won't notice the boycott...they will only notice that the company closed and blamed Obamacare and that Obamacare is bankrupting US companies. I would rather find creative ways to put pressure on the companies, like adding 14 cents to every Papa John's order and saying it's to support health care for the workers.

If there is no at least implied threat of boycott, that is to say just a list, I'm not sure how much impact it could have.
I know I want some kind of action and I want at least some kind of action against these companies that are threatening not to play the game because they're not allowed to write all the rules.

(11,605 posts)make their case that the law is driving business to go under. As a supporter of Obamacare I don't think that is a desirable outcome.
Someone said the other day that they sent the owner of Papa John's 14 cents in the mail with a note that it's for workers' healthcare. What do you think about doing something like that on a bigger scale in order to send the message?

Do links go viral? Not sure I've ever heard the expression for links.
